Flow cards & automations
The app exposes Flow cards so you can react to changes in your solar production.
Triggers (When…)
Production started
Power transitions from 0 W to >0 W (sunrise, cloud passes) - exposes a power token
Production stopped
Power transitions from >0 W to 0 W (sunset, cloud cover)
Today's production changed
The today-kWh value changes between polls
The power changed
measure_power changes
Total energy changed
meter_power changes
Frequency changed
measure_frequency changes
Voltage / temperature changed
The capability changes
Conditions (And…)
Is producing power
Current power > 0 W
Power is above
Current power > the value you specify (W)
Today's production is above
Today's kWh > the value you specify
Useful automations
Charge the EV when the sun comes up:
When Production started on Omnik → start charging session
Run the dishwasher only on solar power:
When time is 12:00 → if Power is above 1500 W → start dishwasher
Notify when the system goes idle for the night:
When Production stopped on Omnik → send push "Solar finished - total today: [meter_power.daily] kWh"
Frequency alarm (rare grid issues):
When Frequency changed → if Frequency below 49.8 Hz or above 50.2 Hz → send notification
Tokens
The Production started trigger provides a power token (the actual wattage at the moment production started), which you can use in subsequent flow steps - useful for branching ("only charge the EV if production is at least 1 kW").
